Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 530 - Darkwing Dragon!

Nie Yan was hidden by a black cloak, so no one paid him any heed. Furthermore, with so much noise in the background, no one heard the exchange between him and the Beast Tamer.

A few players from Alliance of Mages were chatting nearby. Their equipment was fairly high quality. They were most likely elites. A Warrior, carrying a large egg in his hands, approached one of the Beast Tamers.

This group was likely here to hatch a flying mount.

"What did they say? What kind of flying mount is it?" one of the Mages asked.

"It's a Wind Serpent."

"It's a pity Wind Serpents are low rank flying mounts, but they're still pretty decent. It wasn't a waste for Crazy Magic to buy it from Angel Corps, even if it cost a fortune."

"How did Angel Corps get their hands on so many flying mounts?"

"I think from the newly released map, Gryphon Woodlands. They already ran that place several times. They only managed to get a few flying mount eggs after their 1,000-man expedition teams wiped more than 30 times. If it wasn't for the Century Financial Group, they wouldn't sell it to us at all."

"Is Gryphon Woodlands really that difficult?"

"Of course, didn't you hear what I just said? Just imagine..."

This group of players from Alliance of Mages quietly whispered amongst themselves.

As the Beast Tamer gently stroked and caressed the egg, a small serpent broke out of the shell. It had a pair of transparent wings growing on its back, flapping up and down non-stop as it floated in the air. It was quite small, looking exactly like a miniature version of the Wind Serpent that Tang Yao had encountered before. Similar to the Netherthunder Eagle, it could also change its size. Those with no knowledge of flying mounts would never realize that this little snake was actually a powerful creature.

"It hatched!" an Alliance of Mages player excitedly cried out.

The group played with the Wind Serpent and chatted for a while before leaving the pet shop together.

Watching their backs disappear behind the pet shop's entrance, Nie Yan had a pensive look on his face. For Angel Corps to be willing to give away a flying mount, a lot of machinations had to be going on in the background. It seemed Alliance of Mages was really putting everything on the line here. However, a Wind Serpent was an ant-like existence compared to a Darkwing Dragon. Even if Alliance of Mages brought out several flying mounts, Nie Yan would still thoroughly crush them.

Seeing much fewer people in the shop, Nie Yan spoke to the Beast Tamer, "I'd like to hatch this egg."

Nie Yan handed over all the crystals and the Darkwing Dragon Egg to the Beast Tamer.

"T-this is a dragon egg...?" the Beast Tamer stammered. He cautiously accepted the Darkwing Dragon Egg, then wholeheartedly devoted himself to pouring the energy of the crystals into it.

As the Darkwing Dragon absorbed the energy within the crystals, they gradually transformed into useless rocks.

Nie Yan felt the life energy within the egg growing stronger by the second. The creature inside was rapidly growing. A moment later, with a slight tremble, it started breaking out of its shell.

「Peck! Peck! Peck!」Cracks spread across the shell.

Nie Yan's eyes lit up with excitement.

A new life was about to be born!

The Beast Tamer was fully concentrated on the hatching process.

At this moment, the other players in the shop started taking notice. They curiously stared at the egg in the Beast Tamer's hands. This was their first time seeing such an egg, so their interest was piqued. They wondered what kind of creature would hatch. Looking at the Beast Tamer, his expression was quite anxious as sweat dripped from his forehead.
